Just Like Me

Lyrics

Dad was there through my childhood, strong and stern Teaching me how to stand tall what to learn He said "walk it off know you can Stand your ground, be a man Real men keep on fighting till they die" Oh now I know I was wrong You broke down, you weren't strong Everything you told me was a lie I don't know why oh You said to do as I say; don't do as I do Well I saw what you did. I've been doing it too Guess the winner called dad Is a loser called you And I think you'll agree oh You're just like me My mother said be a good guy Speak your mind Settle down with a good girl, sweet and kind She said, "hold the door, show you care Treat her right, son beware A lady never lets you see her shame." Oh now I see in your eyes All your secrets and your lies You are not the lady that you claim I'm so ashamed oh You said to do as I say; don't do as I do Well I saw you what did. I've been doing it too Now I wish I've been warned I'd grow up to be you 'cause I think you'll agree you're just like me Every day parents all of them try breaking the cycle, living a lie Everyday people, playing the part, right from the start (Benonce Riff) You said to do as I say; don't do as I do Well I saw you what did. I've been doing it too I will take your mistakes and make them anew And I think you'll agree oh You're just like me You said to do as I say; don't do as I do Well I saw you did. I've been doing it too Don't mean that you failed, 'cause I became you Somehow I never knew, but now I can see oh You're just like me
